Insufficient Disk Space On Datastore Snapshot
vote 6 down vote favorite I am trying to add a virtual disk using a VMFS datastore with 1.98 TB of capacity and 85 GB used. I then power on the virtual machine, and it gives me the Insufficient disk space on datastore error. And so I removed the newly created disk and try to power on and it gives me the same error! I don't want to panic but I need some good advice
Insufficient Disk Space On Datastore Vmware
on how to fix this and why this is happening... Here is the configuration: Datastore: vmfs_temp Virtual Machine Properties - Options tab Config file: [vmfs_temp] VM-ASSS16-INT-SQL2K8R2-1/VM-ASSS16-INT-SQL2K8R2-1.vmx working location: [vmfs_temp] VM-ASSS16-INT-SQL2K8R2-1/ swapfile location: default EDIT: screenshot showing disk sizes virtualization vmware-esxi vmware-vsphere datastore share|improve this question edited Sep 9 '11 at 14:24 asked Sep 8 '11 at 19:16 JFB 2852817 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 6 down vote accepted Take a look at all of the datastores visible to the host (in vSphere, select the host > Configuration tab > Storage). Are any of the datastores full or very close to it? The swap file may be located on a full datastore even if the VM is on another datastore and if the host cannot create the swap file, the VM will not boot. EDIT: Right-click the VM and go to Edit Settings > Options tab > Swapfile location. Select one of the other options ("Always store with the virtual machine" is recommended and will probably work for you since that datastore has a lot of free space). As far as cleaning up that datastore, you can right-click it and Browse and poke around to see what kind of files are taking up the space. It may be likely that your host is configured to use a different datastore
to power on, after a very long wait it failed with an Insufficient disk space on datastore ". error. It seemed like it was unable to create the swapfile and I could see in the Datastore http://www.peppercrew.nl/index.php/2011/03/insufficient-disk-space-on-datastore/ that it tried to create the vswp file and it was growing bigger and bigger until it filled up the Datastore completely. After rechecking my Virtual Machine config it was a clear what happened: I wanted to create a Virtual Machine with exactly 3,5 GB of memory so I entered 3584 but forgot to change the GB to MB! I would expect VMWare to tell me that it’s not possible to allocate 3584 GB disk space of memory but if you watch quickly you can see that VMWare changes the entered amount to the maximum possible (which depends on the configured blocksize) before closing the Window: In my case this is 255 GB: So a clear case of human error but it would have been nice if VMWare would give us a notice.
